If you are going to leave something outside that is basically made of gold and can be easily carried off, don't expect it to stick around for long. Go get some wood and make a ramp that nobody is going to want to take.

Methheads will steal anything they think they can carry with them, whether it is nailed down or not, if it will get them the cash to get more meth (here in Battle Creek last year, they were stealing manhole covers, before the police reminded the scrap metal dealers that those manhole covers were city property, and that they *would* be checking in on them to make sure that no manhole covers were just laying around in their inventory).

Wood is expensive too. And y'know, Sparky might have a home improvement project that he can cut costs on.

I'm just guessing here, but due to the kids particular disability the wheel chair probably is one of those fully equipped for a quadriplegic, maybe even including some life support monitors. The picture of the chair makes it look like the chair was stripped down for transport.

This is not the America I grew up in.

The America you grew up in was racist.
